Plan B is not a Plan for Catholics…or a Catholic University
by The Citizen
A professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Saint Joseph, a college in the Archdiocese of Hartford and affiliated with the Sisters of Mercy, has publicly endorsed the plan to make Plan B available to children as young as 15 years old.

by catholiccitizen
Today’s Gospel is one I’ve always enjoyed hearing – it gives me a taste of the sheer joy that is Christmas for Christians. Today, it served a different purpose.

the Vatican Speaks on Social Justice
by The Citizen
One of the Vatican’s leading voices on Catholic social justice is coming to America to address a conference on social concerns…and set some minds straight on Catholic teachings on social justice issues.
